NYC Mayor Mamdani announces $30 million city-owned grocery store in East Harlem

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced plans for a $30 million city-owned grocery store to be built on a vacant lot next to La Marqueta in East Harlem. The store is part of a $70 million plan for five city-owned grocery stores that would use private operators contractually required to offer discounted prices on essential goods. Mamdani said the store aims to address affordability issues and food access in the neighborhood.
